HCD administers more than 20 programs that award loans and grants for the construction, acquisition, rehabilitation and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing, homeless shelters and transitional housing, public facilities and infrastructure, and the development of jobs for lower income workers. Please note that, with rare exceptions, these loans and grants are not made to individuals, but to local public agencies, nonprofit and for-profit housing developers, and service providers. In many cases these agencies then provide funds to individual end users.
Below is a Funds Available Calendar (FAC) that lists current Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) for HCD's loan and grant programs. Click on the program names to see program descriptions. Below the individual descriptions are links to NOFAs and other publications related to that program.
